    1 The weights for each model portfolio were determined using prior month product-level characteristic data and current month strategic allocations by product according to the "as-of" date provided, whereby a weighted average calculation is then applied in order to derive the sub-asset allocation percentage listed. Sub-asset allocations by category are provided for informational purposes only and are not intended to be utilized for constructing portfolios. Because of rounding, weights may not add up to 100%.

    The performance data shown represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results, and reflects the performance of the underlying products that comprise our strategies and our investment allocation methodology. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so an investor's ETF shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data cited. Performance of the model ETF components are based on net asset value (NAV) return and assumes a semi-annual rebalance from January 2010 through December 2012, a quarterly rebalance from January 2013 through December 2013, and a monthly rebalance thereafter. Performance figures assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions; the figures are pre-tax and net of expenses. All figures are for periods ended September 30, 2019, except where noted. Performance figures for periods of less than one year are cumulative returns.

    *The model portfolio performance data is calculated by obtaining the weighted monthly returns of the strategy component holdings for each period and is based upon the historical asset allocations at the beginning of each month during the periods shown, which may differ from the current allocation. The holdings comprising the strategies and the allocations to those holdings have changed over time and may change in the future. The historical model performance has not been adjusted to reflect current allocations. Model performance does not reflect any transaction costs that an investor may incur in implementing the models.

    Important after-tax performance informationVanguard after-tax returns

    After-tax returns are calculated using the highest individual federal income tax rates in effect at the time of each distribution. They do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. You also should know that:

    Your after-tax return depends on your individual tax situation and may differ from the figures presented here.If you own fund or exchange-traded funds (ETF) shares in a tax-deferred account such as an IRA or 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to your investment because these accounts are not subject to current taxes.After-tax returns for Vanguard funds and ETFs reflect the reduced tax rates on ordinary income, qualified dividend income, and short-term and long-term capital gains that went into effect in 2003.After-tax returns for non-Vanguard funds and ETFs are provided by Morningstar, Inc., based on data provided by the fund companies. Recent changes in tax law may cause after-tax returns to be calculated inconsistently across different fund families. Accordingly, after-tax returns for peer groups have been removed.Past performance, whether before or after taxes, does not guarantee future results.If a fund or ETF incurs a loss that generates a tax benefit, the post-liquidation after-tax return may exceed the fund's or ETF's other return figures.After-tax returns are quarter-end adjusted for fees and loads, if applicable.

    After-tax returns for most funds and ETFs are calculated using the tax liability implied by each fund's or ETF's declared distributions. However, the exact tax characteristics of many distributions are not known until after the close of the calendar year.

    For more information on Vanguard funds and Vanguard ETFs, contact your financial advisor to obtain a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus. Investment objectives risks, charges, expenses, and other important information are contained in the prospectus; read and consider it carefully before investing.

    Vanguard ETF Shares are not redeemable with the issuing Fund other than in very large aggregations worth millions of dollars. Instead, investors must buy and sell Vanguard ETF Shares in the secondary market and hold those shares in a brokerage account. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset when selling.

    All Vanguard ETFs are subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest.

    Vanguard does not, and will not make any representations about the suitability of a model portfolio for any investor; is not, and will not be, responsible for the suitability of a model portfolio for any investor; and is not acting as an investment advisor to any investor.
